Gasket between HFC/Header
 
Hey. I was wonder what is the best gasket from experience that is used between the HFCs and the stock headers due to the high temps. Fast Intentions Gaskets, Berks Gaskets? I was originally going to get the Z1 premium 3 bolt metal manifold gaskets but I read on one of the threads that multiple people have had those leak from all sides immediately after install, all within the past years batch. My setup will be with Berks HFC and FI Catback. Thanks.

i've had good luck with these z1 gaskets, they are a bit steep, but reusable. Cant really go wrong with any brand.

Disregard gaskets. Use RTV

I used ultra copper and let it sit for 12 hours. Honestly don't know the actual cure time

Run a bead around, tighten halfway. Let sit for a couple hours. Tighten it all the way down, let sit another couple of hours. I've done it that way for years and never had problems.
